Answer / adil akhtar

we can find the size of conductor either aluminum or copper
by the formula
R = P*l/A
whare R is resistance of conductor
......P is resistivity of conductor
......l is length of conductor
......A is area of crossection
and we can find the length of conductor or area of
crossection by this formula....
